Hello and Welcome. My name is Carlos and the intention of this blog is to show all the new releases of stamps with Lighthouses. From those dedicated exclusively to this topic up to the stamps where you have to use a magnifying glass to find a Lighthouse. If you know of a stamp with these characteristics and it's not listed, please let me know so I can posted. Thanks in advance.

Hello!I have decided to start a new label with the name " Old but New ". Under that label, I will post images and information about old material recently incorporated to my collection. If you have any question or need more information of that issues, please contact me.I hope that you like it.

Lighthouse: On the ground we can see the remains of the complex of Kobba Klintar. It was a pilot station (the building at the right) and a fog signal (disapeared). Also a red pierlight established in the seventies is visible in the painting.

(*) This release is part of the joint issue "The North by the sea" between the nordic countries. Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Iceland, Greenland, Faroe Island, Aland. A very nice topic to collect too. http://www.topoftheworld.nu/
